Cyg X-1 field as observed by the MeerKAT telescope in the L band. The orange square marks the location of Cyg X-1, which is seen as a compact source in the middle of the square. The dashed orange arc to the north of Cyg X-1 denotes the outer edge of the bow shock structure. The H II region known as the Tulip Nebula is seen on the eastern side of Cyg X-1. W1 and W2 are two new diffuse emission regions detected in the image to the north-west and south of Cyg X-1, respectively.
